Hello,<br />
<br />
It's nearly March and I'm busy getting work ready for different events and exhibitions which are not far off now.<br />
In a few weeks time, I'm looking forward to meeting members of <a href="http://www.emreg.org.uk/branches/leicestershire" target="_blank"> Leicester Embroiderers Guild</a>, where I will be giving a talk and taking a selection of my textiles and various sketchbooks. <br />
I have just finished framing new small works which will be on display at The NEC, Fashion, Embroidery, Stitch show, I will be demonstrating on the Madeira threads stand from the 17th March until 20th March.<br />
These are landscape fragments, taking inspiration from my drawings of nature but also of personal experiences.<br />
You will see me working on new textile work for my Enchanted Landscape gallery, for the Knitting and Stitching Show in Edinburgh, opening on the 28th April.<br />
<br />
I'm pleased to say that I will be taking part in <a href="http://www.warwickshireopenstudios.org/" target="_blank">Warwickshire</a><a href="http://www.warwickshireopenstudios.org/" target="_blank"> Open Studios</a> again this year, June 18th -3rd July, but this time as part of an exciting group exhibition at <a href="http://artistsworkhouse.com/" target="_blank">The ArtistsWorkhouse</a> in Studley, a vibrant artists community, gallery and studios.<br />
So thankfully, its all fairly busy, not only with stitching, but painting canvases, sorting admin ( eek!) teaching and meeting fellow artists.<br />
<br />
Best wishes <br />
<i>Michala</i><br />

So for my first blog post of 2016, I thought I should bring you up to date ( long over due) with all the exhibitions I have had the pleasure of being involved in and share a few images.<br />
It was a very busy Autumn, starting with <a href="http://www.theknittingandstitchingshow.com/london/Content/Michala-Gyetvai-Enchanted-Landscapes" target="_blank">The Knitting & Stitching Show </a>in London in October for five days, then Dublin and Harrogate in November!<br />
I was very lucky to be able to bring all my larger textile works together for the first time in my exhibition and also to show a selection of my sketchbooks with smaller stitched pieces.<br />
What an amazing experience, meeting so many lovely people who are incredibly enthusiastic about textiles.<br />
I had no idea that so many students were studying my work at schools and colleges, it really was quite over whelming, but also wonderful to know that I have played some part in a younger generations creative journeys.<br />
<br />
The show has a great selection of talented makers working in a vast array of materials and so many exciting stalls with threads, wools, fibres and materials. ( yes, I did buy more threads!!)<br />
I'm pleased to say that I have been invited to exhibit my gallery Enchanted Landscapes with the<a href="http://www.theknittingandstitchingshow.com/edinburgh/" target="_blank"> Knitting & Stitching Show</a> when it launches for the first time in Scotland.<br />
The show will be coming to Edinburgh, 28th April to 1st May 2016 at The Royal Highland Centre.<br />
<br />
This year I will also be demonstrating on The Madeira Threads stand at <a href="http://www.fashionembroidery.co.uk/birmingham/#madeira" target="_blank">The Fashion Embroidery Stitch show</a> at the NEC in March.<br />
Then in December I will be showing my work as part of a touring exhibition, more news about this to follow.<br />
<br />
I have now produced a full colour, paper back book of my work, showing my textiles, drawings and paintings, priced £10.00 it will be available at the shows I visit.<br />
I am also able to post out my book if you wish to order it, please either email me or contact me via my website.<br />
<br />
You will also find a section about my art work in the inspiring Through Our Hands portfolio, this book is available on the <a href="http://www.throughourhands.co.uk/the-through-our-hands-book/" target="_blank">Through Our Hands website</a>.<br />
<br />
It's back to my stitching and you can now also follow me on Instagram @michalagyetvai.<br />
<br />
Wishing you a very Happy New Year<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Apologies for a great delay in updating my blog, due to my problems logging in again ( hopefully sorted now) and just a lot of things happening, stitching, exhibitions, holidays etc...</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have also been using Facebook and instagram as an immediate way of updating news.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">My blog missed out on an event I had in June / July at The Bilston Craft Gallery with the international textile group </span><a href="http://www.throughourhands.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Through Our Hands</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few images of the exhibition, which had some fantastic work from textile artists from all over the world, sorry I have not got all the artists here, but you will find more on the </span><a href="http://www.throughourhands.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Through Our Hands website.</span></a></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">This group also came together to exhibit at The Festival of Quilts and you may be pleased to know that there is now a portfolio publication available to purchase ( from the </span><a href="http://www.throughourhands.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Through Our Hands website</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> ) with information on all the artists and their work.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have recently had two brilliant new artists join our group, Jenni Dutton and Sue Stone who exhibited with us at The Festival of Quilts, blog post to follow!</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am at this very moment, in the midst of stitching and organising my exhibition </span><a href="http://www.theknittingandstitchingshow.com/london/Content/Michala-Gyetvai-Enchanted-Landscapes" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">"Enchanted Landscapes"</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> for </span><a href="http://www.theknittingandstitchingshow.com/london/page.cfm/Link=1/t=m/goSection=1" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">The Knitting and Stitching Shows</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, opening October 7th at Alexandra Palace London and then on to Dublin and Harrogate.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is my first opportunity to show all my large textiles together including my latest work and a range of my sketchbooks.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope to see you there!</span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On route you can
see a serene floating palace on a large lake where you can stop and take
photos.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We rode on the
back of colourfully painted elephants up to the gates of the Amer fort. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This imposing
building is covered in beautiful paintings and glass mosaics. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our driver took
us to a spectacular white marble temple with ornate carvings; an abundance of
wild life greeted us, hundreds of wild monkeys leaping along the walls of the
ancient monuments.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">

from Jaipur to Jodhpur, which although a long journey, was fascinating because
of the changing landscape, the small towns we passed through and the cows and
camels in the middle of the road!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">We stayed in the
small village of Chandelao in the elegant 18th century Rajput style hotel
Chandelao Garh .<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We watched wild
peacocks and flocks of squawking, emerald green parrots on the roof top terrace
as the sun went down. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the village
we bought handicrafts made by the women, they told us that the aim of the
project named Sundar Rang, is to support the local craft skills and develop
high quality products with unique Rajasthan designs, thus creating a
sustainable source of income for the women in Chandelao village.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The women took pride
in showing us how they stitched the great range of textile goods and they were
delighted to learn that I too worked in threads!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the morning
we left and drove on, visiting the Imposing <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Merangarh Fort perched high above a wave of
blue and turquoise painted buildings; the city of Jodhpur.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">It was a
fantastic experience; the fort houses exquisite paintings, textiles, sculpture,
glass and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>mosaics. The architecture
is spectacular, as is the walled gardens, with many different exotic plants and
trees.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Next week I will tell you about my trip to the desert and my time spent exploring the textile markets in Bangalore, heaven for thread lovers!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As you may know, I'm a member of the international textile group </span><a href="http://www.throughourhands.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">Through Our Hands</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and we have an exhibition opening called</span><a href="http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/events/liberated-quilt-new-work-hands/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"> "The Liberated Quilt"</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> on Saturday15th May at </span><a href="http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/visit/bilston/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">The Bilston Craft Galley</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> in Wolverhampton.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"The Liberated Quilt provides a showcase for 23 international artists working mainly with stitched textile techniques, including quilt-making and embroidery. Their work challenges and expands the boundaries of textiles, showing how innovative ideas can evolve from a traditional art form. Strong narratives, bold visions, and raw emotional response are key features of the work on show. Curated by Through Our Hands, this exhibition offers the opportunity to experience work by textile artists considered to be amongst the best in the world. - See more at: http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/events/liberated-quilt-new-work-hands/#sthash.EeGYkaOO.dpuf</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm looking forward to seeing a fantastic range of textile art in this wonderful spacious gallery. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be there at the opening in the afternoon, with some of the other members of Through Our Hands.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I do hope that you may get chance to visit.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> <span style="font-size: large;">It was a
very lucky Friday 13th of February I arrived in India, to spend two sun filled weeks,
with my sister Nicola and her family in Bangalore. They arrived here from
Warwickshire in the UK on “their adventure" two years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">My sister’s life
changing experience has impacted on my life of art.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">I am an artist
and I work not only with paint but with textiles, about five years ago, I went
through a very stressful time and in order to cope I found comfort in stitching
onto old woollen blankets. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">My subjects are
landscapes and figures developed from intense periods of drawing and
painting. I layer my experience into the landscape so that it becomes
psychologically charged with my own memories, emotions, narratives, dreams, and
poems.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">The passion and
freedom encountered in the immediacy of sketching is developed and channelled
through paintings, and then consolidated into textile pieces. Labour and
repetition are central to this process and depending on the scale the finished
embroidered textile can take many months to complete.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My sister had
organised a hectic itinerary, to share as much of Indian culture as possible
during my short stay.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On my first
morning I learnt about the fascinating art of Indian block printing under the
shade of mango trees. This was with Poonam in Whitefield’s on the Nallur Halli
main road in Bangalore.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We printed,
intricate repeating designs with hand carved wooden blocks onto white cotton
cloths.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">The next day we
walked through glades of patterned palm trees in Palm Meadows, then through the
chaos of the city, to reach the small</span> <span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">multi-coloured painted villages.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Animals such as
cows, goats and dogs were in abundance, amongst buildings, temples and swarming
traffic, so integrated that they weaved with man amongst the tirade of
vehicles.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The intensity of
colour is intoxicating and exhilarating, everywhere I turned colour and pattern
overwhelmed me, even coloured washing, hanging against the bright walls became
exciting!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was amazed by
the fruits, vegetables and flowers piled high on rickety wooden carts by the side
of the red dusty roads.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I loved the
petals and flowers arranged artfully floating in water bowls, the chalk patterns
drawn on the pavements, the kaleidoscope of colourful clothing, saris and
textiles.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: large;">In my sketch
book I worked with pastels on different coloured papers to record not only what
I could see but how this new environment made me feel.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My drawing
started to change, I altered my colour combinations, and the rhythm of my mark
making became more intense and complicated.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Working
instinctively I found my landscapes were becoming more exotic, taking on an
eastern appearance.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: large;">I will share more of my experiences and drawings of India in my next blog post.</span></span><br />

I have recently had problems logging into my blog, in fact I thought perhaps all was lost, but thankfully and miraculously I am now back to blogging!<br />
So much has changed with social media since my tentative steps into sharing my work on my blog.<br />
Facebook, Flickr, instagram to name a few and I have only recently acquired an iphone!<br />
This year I have been using instagram as it's so easy and quick to upload my photos , if you use it you can find me here <a href="http://instagram.com/michalagyetvai" target="_blank">http://instagram.com/michalagyetvai</a><br />
I have been stitching more than drawing during our cold Winter months, at the moment I'm trying to finish my very large landscape based on the poem by Stephane Mallarme <span dir="auto">L'après-midi d'un faune and this inspired Claude Debussy's music of the same name.</span><br />
<span dir="auto">I find the music incredibly inspiring, the flute mysterious, it takes me on a journey through a deep colourful, enchanted </span><span dir="auto">Summer forest. </span><br />
<span dir="auto"></span><br />
<span dir="auto"><table class="cquote" role="presentation" style="background-color: transparent; border-collapse: collapse; border-image: none; border: currentColor; margin: auto; width: auto;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="border-image: none; border: currentColor; padding: 4px 10px; vertical-align: top;">"[This prelude] was [Debussy's] musical response to the poem of Stephane Mallarmé (1842–1898), in which a faun playing his pan-pipes alone in the woods becomes aroused by passing nymphs and naiads, pursues them unsuccessfully, then wearily abandons himself to a sleep filled with visions. Though called a "prelude," the work is nevertheless complete – an evocation of the feelings of the poem as a whole."<br />
<br />
I hope to exhibit this piece at <a href="http://www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk/visit/bilston/" target="_blank">Bilston Craft Gallery</a> opening on the 16th May with the international textile group <a href="http://www.throughourhands.co.uk/" target="_blank">Through Our Hands</a>. The exhibition is called "The Liberated Quilt"<br />
I'm really looking forward to meeting all the other artists who belong to the group.<br />
I will also be showing my textiles with them for the first time this year at The Festival Of Quilts at the NEC in August.<br />
Then at the end of the year, again a first, I will be exhibiting with The Knitting & Stitching Show in London, Dublin and Harrogate!<br />
So I hope you may be able to visit me in one of these venues.<br />
<br />
Next week I'm packing for a trip to see my sister in India!<br />
I will be staying in Bangalore but I will also be travelling to Jaipur and Jodphur, I'm very excited, as I have never travelled beyond Europe before.<br />
My new sketch books have been purchased, I'm sure the experience of a different culture will have an impact on my art work!<br />
I hope that I will have a lot to share with you on my blog in the near future.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I just wanted to let you know that sadly Ragley Gallery and Studios is closing at the end of this year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ragley Hall have other plans for the stables and Dawn Harris is hoping that she will be able to find new premises.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am very upset for all the artists at Ragley Gallery as it was a wonderful place to work, exhibit and learn.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm in the process of organising a new studio space, which I hope to share with you soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our last event details are below and we are having a great range of talented artists exhibiting together for a final show.</span></div>

The little something that shows you care, the one that’s different, special, unique (but not going to break the bank)? <br />
<br />
Looking for something lovely to put on the shelves of your home, or in the kids’ bedroom, or on the wall in the living room, or at the bottom of the stairs in that bare empty patch you’ve always meant to fill? <br />
<br />
Having a secret wish that someone, (maybe even you), would get you that thing you’ve always wanted but haven’t been able to find? <br />

In the Summer I spent time painting a mural for Clinton Primary school in Kenilworth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This large area is their new art zone with several music rooms leading from it. I wanted to paint the landscapes that inspire me, the ones from my own childhood memories, the landscapes in Warwickshire and the changing seasons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope these murals will inspire the children in art, music, dance and poetry.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am still here!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My blog has been neglected due to many hours of stitching on small and very large works.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So much has happened in the last few weeks, my sisters wedding in the most beautiful location of Ravello in Italy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If I can get myself organised I will share a few of the many photos I took around the mountains and my visits to Pompeii and <span dir="auto">Herculaneum.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Before my trip I visited Solihull Embroiderers Guild to give a workshop, everyone was very welcoming and enthusiastic, which made it a very enjoyable day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">On Saturday I will be travelling to Northampton Embroiderers Guild to give a talk on my textiles and paintings, looking forward to meeting everyone there.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At the moment I'm busy preparing for the annual Warwickshire Open Studios which opens on the 28th June.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be working from my studio which is situated in the beautiful grounds of Ragley Hall, it is here you will see my passion for threads! I will have my large textiles on display with my paintings, drawings and tree brooches.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have at least ten other artists exhibiting together, you can find full details here </span><a href="http://ragleygallery.co.uk/exhibitions/warwickshire-open-studios-2014/"><span style="font-size: large;">http://ragleygallery.co.uk/exhibitions/warwickshire-open-studios-2014/</span></a><br />
<span style="color: #339966;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: black;">It will make a lovely day out where you can chat with the artists, enjoy the large variety of artwork on show, and perhaps partake in a gentle stroll through the woodland walk after tea and cake.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This week Spring arrived through mists and fog, every where I looked bursts of colour became visible in the gardens at Ragley.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I would share with you a poem I wrote inspired by the changing seasons.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The Woods</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The woods are sleeping a restless sleep.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Huge hands reach up and claw a polished sky.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Golden gowns lay rotted, devoured by the earth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Trembling in icy winds they whisper in their creaks and cracks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Exposed, raw wounds.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Listening for the bird song, inviting them to dance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When heavens chorus begins the virgin buds will bloom.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Spring takes Winter and leads him back to bed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The trees uplift their heavy sleepy heads.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next week ( on Saturday) I am running a sketch and stitch workshop at Ragley Hall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm hoping the weather will stay fair so we can make the most of the stunning landscapes, fingers crossed!</span>Michala Gyetvai (Kayla coo)http://www.blogger.com/profile/05120726257649689149noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374903839484454212.post-6681885882619804742014-02-18T20:46:00.002+00:002014-02-18T21:17:03.701+00:00Garden Walks & The Studio at Ragley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Hello,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">We packed up the exhibition on Friday which was so quick compared to putting it all up and arranging everything!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I always feel slightly sad about packing everything away, sorting out where some work will now journey to other places and find new homes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This time though instead of cramming my house with my art work I am now able to have a selection of my work on permanent display at the Gallery and studios at Ragley Hall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This week the first signs of Spring were evident at Ragley with an abundance of snowdrops, carpeting the woodlands surrounding the gallery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Ragley gardens will be open on select days throughout the year giving garden lovers the opportunity to marvel at the changing seasons on days when they are usually closed to the public.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Next week they will be open on the 26th & 27th February for the Snowdrop & Winter garden walk.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Do check out all the details </span><a href="http://www.ragley.co.uk/days-out-in-warwickshire/things-to-do/garden-walks/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">here.</span></a><br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The gallery will also be open on those days and also the Terrace café will be open for refreshments.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I will be there on the Thursday the 27th, so if you do visit,</span><span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> come and say hello at the gallery and studios!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: large;">You will find a great selection of different art works on show as we now have five studio artists based at the <a href="http://dawnlharris.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">gallery</span></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Now that the exhibition is finished I have started another set of work, developing more of my sketches and continuing to translate them into threads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The drawings are visual poems, a series of studies, which link together and those images contain narratives, a landscape can hold many stories.</span><br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
The exhibition at The Michael Heseltine Gallery has been open for three weeks and we have now have just two weeks until it closes on Thursday 13th of February.<br />
I thought I would share some of my images of the exhibition which I have shown on my facebook<br />
page.<br />
I will be there the next two Sundays with the sculptor <a href="http://www.georgewagstaffe.co.uk/" target="_blank">George Wagstaffe</a> ( we are open 10.00am until 4.00pm)<br />
The exhibition is open Monday to Friday 9.00am until 5.00pm.<br />
I managed just about to get through the opening despite a heavy cold, I think the adrenaline got me through it!<br />
<br />
Just to let you know I will not be exhibiting at the NEC this year despite one of my stitched pieces featuring on the front of The Fashion Embroidery Stitch leaflets!!<br />
They took the image when I was at the show last year.<br />
I decided I wanted to spend more time on my work so I had something new to show another year and also I had other commitments.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hello, </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you have had a peaceful Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We have had a very busy few days catching up with family, one of my sisters has been living in Bangalore in India for the last six months with her husband and three children.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It's been wonderful to see them and to listen to their stories of India.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Sadly they are only here until the New Year</span><span style="font-size: large;">, the next time I will see them will be at my younger sisters wedding at the end of May!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have also been finishing off pieces for a new exhibition of my work which opens on the 9th of January 2014 at </span><a href="http://www.chenderit.northants.sch.uk/gallery.asp" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">The Michael Heseltine Gallery</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, Chenderit School an arts College in Middleton Cheaney near Banbury.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be exhibiting with the sculptor </span><a href="http://www.georgewagstaffe.co.uk/page2.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">George Wagstaffe</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> , you will find his public works in the City of Coventry.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The following is the press release with information about the exhibition.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><blockquote>
<div dir="ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">An exhibition of work by Michala Gyetvai and George Wagstaffe.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Michala will be showing her large textiles, drawings and paintings. This follows her successful solo show at the Herbert Art Gallery, Coventry in 2011/12.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Her work shows the passion for blankets and threads she uses and for the landscape </span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">she interprets. These powerful, three- dimensional images remain with the observer long after the initial viewing.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">George wagstaffe will be showing a selection of his sculptures, mainly in bronze. These works, though complete in themselves, relate thematically to commissions completed during a long career, in particular to the early commissions for the City of Coventry in the 1960s. Whilst the work of the two artists remains separate and distinctive, there is a shared concern to explore together those unseen forces that continue to determine the human condition.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The exhibition is housed in the Michael Heseltine gallery, Chenderit School, Middleton Cheney, from the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="color: #222222;">9th January 2014 to the 13th</span></a> February.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">The artists will be giving a brief introduction to the exhibition on the opening evening and will be on site to talk to visitors each <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null"><span style="color: #222222;">Sunday from 2.00pm until 4.00pm</span></a>.</span></blockquote>
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We still have quite a busy time ahead, wrapping works and two days of setting up.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> If you live near and are interested in either textiles, painting or sculpture do come and visit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I plan to be at the Gallery on the Sunday afternoons, no doubt stitching!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a Happy New Year!</span><br />
<br />

Last March I exhibited my work at the Fashion Embroidery Stitch and Sewing for Pleasure Show at The NEC in Birmingham, it was here the editor of <a href="http://www.workboxmag.com/latest-issue/" target="_blank">Workbox</a> came across my work and asked if they could feature my embroidery in their new look magazine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here I am, in the January / February 2014 issue of the magazine where you can read more about my art work.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's been another busy month of stitching, drawing and getting ready for my next exhibition in Oxfordshire in January! ( hence my lack of blogging)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the beginning of the month I visited the Cherwell Valley Embroiderers Guild for a days workshop</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
( I had previously visited to give a talk).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I was able to share machine with hand embroidery skills and to give advice on how members could develop their own work through experimentation using sketchbooks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I find this process so rewarding and it was exciting to see how different everyone approached the task at hand, using various media including threads and fabrics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope to get back to regular weekly blog posts soon!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Goodness, it's along time since I have updated my blog!<br />
I have been very busy with talks, demonstrations and workshops, in September I gave a talk at the beautiful Dorchester Abbey in Oxfordshire for their Sew Saturday event.<br />
Then last week I gave a talk for the very welcoming <a href="http://leamingtonembroiderersguild.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/october-talk-seas-of-grass-michala.html" target="_blank">Leamington Spa embroiderers guild</a> followed by a days workshop.<br />
I have also been working towards an exhibition entitled 'Negotiating Heritage’ at Ragley Gallery and Studios<br />
Opening Saturday 19th of October until Thursday 31st of October see here for <a href="http://dawnlharris.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #c23b3b;"><u><strong>details</strong></u></span></a><span style="color: #c23b3b;"><u><strong> </strong></u></span><br />
<br />
A group exhibition consisting of 11 artist who have been engaging with Ragley <br />
Hall, Park and Gardens over the summer of 2013.<br />
<br />
Mini Artists’ residencies are at the core of Negotiating Heritage. Eleven artists in <br />
total including Ragley Hall’s Artist in Residence, Dawn Harris have been invited <br />
to spend time at Ragley during the summer of 2013. Some of the artists have <br />
spent time speaking with visitors, some investigated the history of the Hall, <br />
and some spent time discovering the landscape that makes up the Estate, always <br />
considering the question of what Heritage means to them. The Ragley visitor was <br />
invited to witness, and experience the creative process behind the <br />
artist’s work at the Ragley Gallery and Studios.<br />
<br />
I will also be running "Sketch & Stitch workshops at Ragley Hall.<br />
The surrounding landscapes are incredibly inspiring and we will have the opportunity to go out in the grounds to draw ( weather permitting)!<br />
Please find booking information on my website <a href="http://michalagyetvai.co.uk/">Michalagyetvai.co.uk</a> <br />

Hello,<br /><br /> I hope you have been enjoying holidays and all the beautiful weather we have had recently.<br /> I have spent time in Italy, filling my sketchbook with new work and time in my studio at Ragley Hall stitching.<br />
You can also find more of my images on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michala-Gyetvai-Kaylacoo/133372320850?ref=hl">face book page</a>.<br /><br /> I thought I would share with you events you may be interested in.<br /><br /> On the 7th and 14th of September I will be running a workshop to coincide with the Constable and Turner exhibition at Compton Verney.<br /> You will develop your sketch book work and go out into the landscape to draw or paint. We will also look at other media including stitch and textiles, it will be a great opportunity for you to experiment !<br /> Please contact <a href="http://www.comptonverney.org.uk/">Compton Verney</a> to book your place.<br /><br /> On September 21st I will be at the free event<a href="http://www.dorchester-abbey.org.uk/downloads/SewSaturday.pdf"> Sew Saturday</a> at the beautiful <a href="http://www.dorchester-abbey.org.uk/">Dorchester Abbey</a>, Dorchester On Thames in Oxfordshire.<br /> I will be demonstrating during the day and presenting a talk about my work at 2pm.<br /> Below is information on what is happening during this stitch filled day!<br />
<br /><br /> <strong><span style="font-size: large;"><u>Sew Saturday</u></span></strong><br /><br /><br /> 10am – 4pm – Have a go at the ‘Create a Floor’ group display: create a piece of embroidery to be put together in a mass display to be exhibited in the Abbey at its completion. The inspiration for this is the Abbey’s ‘patchwork’ flooring – look closely and see what you can find!<br /> 10am – 4pm – Visit the Abbey mixed media textiles display (i.e. lectern and pulpit falls, High Altar fall and celebration vestments) by Helyne Jennings.<br /> 10am – 4pm – Visit the Linus Quilts display: see a range of quilts created for the Linus Quilts Charity and discover more about their work.<br /> 10am – 2pm – Demonstrations by Oxfordshire Embroiderers’ Guild Members: watch guild members in various locations throughout the Abbey demonstrate various stitching techniques from the traditional to mixed media. Be inspired to create your own piece with the materials available or find out more about the Guild, their work and activities.<br /> 2pm – 4pm – Find out more about Dorchester Abbey’s history: Abbey stewards will be on hand to answer questions and give very brief tours.<br /> 11am – 12noon – Talk by Helen Russell on the commissioned mixed media textile work (i.e. lectern and pulpit falls, High Altar fall and celebration vestments) for the Abbey by Helyne Jennings.<br /> 2pm – 3pm – Talk by Michala Gyetvai, mixed media textile artist<br /> 3pm – 4pm – Talk by Suellen Pedley, ecclesiastical embroiderer<br />
<br />
Apparently Dorchester Abbey is famous for its tea rooms with homemade cakes!<br />
<br /><br /> If you require any further information on the above events, do not hesitate to get in touch.<br />
<br />
I'm also very pleased to announce that I have been invited to exhibit with the International quilt group <a href="http://www.throughourhands.co.uk/">"Through Our Hands"</a><br />
If you visit their website you will find information on all the talented artists taking part.<br />
<br />
Best wishes<br /><br /> <em>Michala</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been a while since I have updated my blog which is due to a very busy few weeks where lots of things have been happening!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago I met Dawn Harris who is the artist in residence at </span><a href="http://www.ragley.co.uk/"><span style="font-size: large;">Ragley Hall</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> near Alcester, not far from Stratford Upon Avon.<br />I visited Dawn at her Gallery and studios which is part of the very impressive Ragley Hall estate and is within a section of the very old stable blocks.<br />Dawn has set up the studio space with Gallery as part of her residency, to create an artists community, to support artists professional development through projects, exhibitions and critical discourse.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm excited to say that I am now one of the new studio artists and I am looking forward to working along side Dawn and the artist at Ragley.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be able to spend time outside in the beautiful surrounding gardens and grounds,which will no doubt have a huge influence on my art practise.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To begin with, I will be at Ragley a couple of days a week as I am also in the process of organising my Open Studios over in Coventry with the artist George Wagstaffe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Gallery,studios are open to visitors most weekends and some week days, you can find opening times on Dawn's website </span><a href="http://dawnlharris.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/warwickshire-open-studios-event-ragley-gallery-and-studios/"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> and details of</span><a href="http://dawnlharris.wordpress.com/"><span style="font-size: large;"> art courses</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> with Dawn.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Please double check before you visit, as Ragley Hall has varied </span><a href="http://www.ragley.co.uk/opening-times/"><span style="font-size: large;">opening times.</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> or contact Dawn via her </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Michala-Gyetvai-Kaylacoo/133372320850#!/pages/Dawn-Harris-at-Ragley-Gallery-and-Studio/152023771617293"><span style="font-size: large;">facebook page here</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> ( The Gallery will sometimes be closed in the holidays) </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My next blog post will introduce you to Dawns art work, including the other studio artists.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bye for now</span></div>
